Definitions
- leg ulceration is the most prevalent chronic wound in Western countries, affecting about 1 to 2% of the adult population (Valencia I C, Falabella A, Kirsner R S, Eaglstein W H. Chronic venous insufficiency and venous leg ulceration. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001; 44: 401-21).
- the main causes of leg ulceration are venous hypertension, arterial insufficiency, and diabetes.
- Venous ulcers account for approximately 80% of all leg ulcers and are the result of venous hypertension.
- the current treatment for venous ulcers includes graduated compression support stockings or compression bandaging of the limb Despite the standard of care of compression therapy, 50 to 70% of venous leg ulcers remain unhealed after 12 weeks of treatment and 54 to 78% of ulcers will reoccur (Abbade L P, Lastoria S. Venous ulcer:epidemiology, physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment. Int Wound J 2006; 3:113-20). These chronic wounds have a treatment cost in the United States of approximately one billion dollars per year and have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life (Herber O R, Schnepp W, Rieger M A. A systemic review on the impact of leg ulceration on patient's quality of life. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2007; 5: 44).
- the biology of the chronic venous and diabetic wounds is quite different from acute wounds.
- the initial fibrin clot provides hemostasis and the platelets release cytokines, growth factors, and recruit inflammatory cells.
- the recruitment of inflammatory cells includes neutrophils and macrophages to eradicate bacteria.
- the protease cut through the fibrin clot.
- Matrix Metalloproteinases are up regulated by the keratinocyte to cut a path through the matrix proteins to allow the keratinocyte to advance and close the wound.
- MMP-9 gelatinase B
- MMP-9 is the major protease that is present in the chronic venous stasis and decubitus ulcers.
- TRIP-1 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase
- the bacterial colonies produce a biofilm which enables the bacteria to act as a multicellular organism.
- the biofilm protects the bacteria from the host immune system and all antibiotics.
- the bacterial biofilm gains nutrients from its own protease, which are similar to the host MMP-9. The biofilm then protects the bacteria from the host immune system and all antibiotics.
- the bacterial biofilm and the host both produce proteases which are responsible for the degradation of the factors responsible for wound healing.
- the innovative proposed Improved Sock is comprised of a combination of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) shapes, natural wicking fibers, and elastic fibers composed into a yarn knitted to make the sock.
- the sock is applied directly on the wound with the natural wicking fibers with adhered AgNP shapes coming into contact with the wound.
- the Improved Sock directly down regulates the MMP-9 and bacterial proteases, kills the bacteria that is protected by the biofilm, and allows the epithelialization of the wound without harming the keratinocytes.
- the preferred natural wicking fibers are wool, such as merino wool, and/or alpaca.
- AgNPs have been used on textiles such as socks, clothing, and wound dressings.
- the AgNPs are either coated on the wound dressing or textile or they are incorporated into a polyester yarn, which is knitted with other fibers to create socks, clothing or wound dressing.
- the AgNPs can be manufactured into specific shapes which show improved antibacterial properties (Pal, S., Y. K. Tak and J. M. Song, 2007, Does the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles depend on the shape of the nanoparticle? A study of the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2007, 73(6):1712).
- the AgNP shapes also demonstrate improved anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties.
- the specific AgNP shapes which have shown improved antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic properties include silver nano prisms (AgNPr), silver nano truncated triangle plates (AgNTTP), and silver nano discs (AgND).
- the present invention fulfills one or more of these needs in the art by providing a sock made of yarns knitted with graded compression on the individual from the foot to below the knee.
- the yarns including wool and alpaca fibers, will be a substantial proportion of the inside of the sock, so as to be in direct contact with the skin and wound.
- the Improved Sock provides cushion, absorption and wicking of exudate and necrotic tissue from the leg and foot.
- AgNP shapes are located on the yarn and manufactured from AgNPs wherein at least 30% of the mass of the AgNPs attached to the fibers have a AgNPr, AgNTTP or AgND shape.
- the manufactured AgNP shapes are combined in a ratio to maximize the anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic properties.
- the mass of the AgNP shapes is less than 0.1% of the weight of the total weight of the sock.
- the invention is considered a unique method of wound treatment.
- a patient's donning of the sock and placement directly on the wound can easily and efficiently provide wound care without the expense and time of multiple wound care products and the associated doctor and nursing care visits.
- the yarns of the sock include at least one of wool and alpaca fibers and a substantial proportion of the inside of a sock is wool and alpaca fibers so as to be in contact with the skin and provide absorption and wicking of bacteria, inflammatory exudate, and necrotic tissue from the leg and foot.
- the yarns made of wool and alpaca fibers can be knitted into a terry pattern over high stress areas that are at risk of insensate neuropathic ulcers.
- AgNP shapes are selected from the AgNPr, AgNTTP, and AgND.
- AgNP shapes are bound to the wool and alpaca fibers through electrostatic forces.
- the first act is to make an aqueous suspension including the AgNP shapes.
- the wool and alpaca fibers are then exposed to the aqueous solution.
- the aqueous solution pH is decreased and temperature increased to maximize the electrostatic force of the bond between the wool, alpaca, and the AgNP shapes.
- the invention is considered a wearable wound dressing that can also prevent bacterial and fungal infections of the lower extremity.
- the ease of use, comfort, and low maintenance of the sock makes it ideal for patient compliance.
- the wearable wound dressing minimizes the labor and material expense required to provide wound care dressing changes by health care professionals.
- FIG. 1 is a view of a sock in accordance with the invention
- FIGS. 2A-2C are views of example shapes of a silver nanoparticle to be adhered to or included in the yarn of the sock, including a truncated triangular plate (AgNTTP) ( FIG. 2A ), a triangular prism (AgNTP) ( FIG. 2B ), and a disc (AgND) ( FIG. 2C ); and
- FIG. 3 is a photographic image of the silver plates bound to a sock fiber taken with dark field microscopy.
- the Improved Sock (as seen in FIG. 1 ) is used particularly for patients with ulcerations from arterial, venous and lymphatic insufficiency, diabetes, and for other people as well. It has graduated compression from the foot up through the calf.
- the sock includes characteristics of graduated compression, the presence of anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic AgNP shapes, and the wool and alpaca fibers.
- the wool and alpaca is in contact with the skin and provides pleasing comfort and durability to the wearer.
- the wool and alpaca yarns are knitted into a terry pattern over high stress areas such as the tibial crest, the heel and forefoot. To maintain equal compression around the ankle malleoli, the terry is strategically placed to cradle the medial and lateral malleoli.
- the sock is knitted from a yarn that has both a wool and/or alpaca component and an elastic component.
- a currently preferred yarn is a 50/50 blend of alpaca and merino wool, with the merino and alpaca fibers about 18.5 microns in diameter, spun into a yarn with dimensions of 1/44 NM (single yarn, 44 number metric in diameter).
- Various wools can be used, but merino wool is presently preferred.
- the wool and/or alpaca is placed in the yarn in a covering arrangement so it, not the elastic, is in contact with the skin and wound.
- the elastic forms the core of the yarn.
- Various elastic yarns can be used. Double covered elastic yarns are currently preferred in order to achieve the degree of compression disclosed herein.
- Other materials may be suitable for the elastic fibers, such as latex or latex-free elastomers, spandex, various rubbers, texturized polyester and/or nylon.
- fibers includes filament yarns.
- the yarn is knit with a terry effect to get more of the merino (or other wool) and alpaca and silver shapes in contact within the depth of the wound.
- the sock has graduated compression of 18-24 mm Hg.
- the higher compression starts in the foot and gradually decreases up the calf to decrease edema and increase circulation.
- Studies of compression in this range show increased circulation up to 40% and this compression is below the range that inhibits microcirculation in the skin.
- the sock is knitted to obtain graduated compression and uses yarns of wool and alpaca fiber, with the addition of polyester and/or nylon.
- the alpaca fiber has a better wicking ability than wool, has better compressibility (provides more cushion), is softer, and more durable than wool (Liu, Xin, Wang, Lijing and Wang, Xungai, 2004, Resistance to compression behavior of alpaca and wool, Textile Research Journal, vol. 74, no. 3 pp. 265-270).
- the wool and alpaca are able to wick away the inflammatory exudate, the bacteria and biofilm, and debride necrotic tissue from the wound while maintaining a moist wound environment.
- the AgNP shapes attached to the fibers have at least 30% of the mass of the AgNPs in a shape where the length of the two principal axes of the nanoparticle are more than three times greater than the length of the third principal axis of the nanoparticle and where the length of the third principal axis is less than 50 nm ( FIG. 2A and FIG. 2C ).
- the AgNP shapes have a triangular prism shape ( FIG. 2B ).
- the AgNP shapes can include mixtures of two or more of the different types of shapes.
- the truncated triangular silver nano plates have shown the strongest antibacterial activity due to the surface ⁇ 111 ⁇ facet characteristics (Wijnhoven, S. W. P., Peijnenburg, Willie J. G.
- Nano-silver a review of available data and knowledge gaps in human and environmental risk assessment. Nanotoxicology, 3:2, 109-138).
- the reactivity of the nano silver is improved by the high atom density surface ⁇ 111 ⁇ facet (Hatchett, D. W. and Henry, S. 1996, Electrochemistry of sulfur adlayers on low-index faces of silver. Jl. Phys. Chem. 100:9854-9859).
- the silver nanoparticles also demonstrate strong anti-fungal properties (Wright, J. B., Lam K, Hansen D., Burrell R. E., 1999, Efficacy of topical silver against fungal burn wound pathogens. Am. Jl. Infect. Control 27:344-350), anti-viral properties that inhibit HIV-1 replication (Sun, R. W., Chen R., Chung N. P., Ho C. M., Lin C. L., Che C. M. 2005. Silver nanoparticles fabricated in Hepes buffer exhibit cyto-protective activities toward HIV-1 infected cells. Chem. Commun (Camb.):5059-5061), and anti-inflammatory properties (Kirsner R. S., Orsted H., Wrught J. B. 2002. Matrix metalloproteinases in normal and impaired wound healing: a potential role of nanocrystalline silver. Wounds 13:4-12).
- Elevated inflammatory mediators are responsible for chronic wounds not healing
- the chronic inflammatory mediators that are most responsible for non-healing diabetic wounds include matrix metallo-proteinases (specifically MMP-9), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), and interluken (IL-1 and 12).
- MMP-9 matrix metallo-proteinases
- TNF-alpha tumor necrosis factor
- IL-1 and 12 interluken
- the AgNP shapes with ⁇ 111 ⁇ facets that are used in the Improved Socks will suppress these proteolytic enzymes that are responsible for the non-healing chronic wounds (Wright J. B., Lam K., Buret A. G., Olson M. E., Burrell R. E., 2002, Early healing events in a porcine model of contaminated wounds: Effects of nanocrystalline silver on matrix metalloproteinases, cell apoptosis, and healing. Wound Repair Regen. 10:141-151).
- the AgNP shapes can be added to the Improved Sock in a way that will be durable and machine washable.
- AgNP shapes as described are reduced to the specified AgNP shapes through a reduction chemical reaction. With the electrostatic potential of the wool positive and the electrostatic potential of the silver negative, a strong and durable electrostatic bond is created (Tang, B., J Wang, S. Xu, T Afrin, W. Xu, L. Sun, X. Wang, 2011, Application of anisotropic silver nanoparticles: multi-funtionalization of wool fabric. J. of Colloid and Interface Science 356 (2011) 513-518).
- the AgNP shapes may also be bonded to a synthetic fiber which, when knitted with the wool and alpaca fibers, will provide the same function.
- the AgNP shapes can become part of the sock in numerous ways.
- the silver solution can be sprayed onto the knitted sock to get an even distribution.
- the silver binds to the fiber rapidly so that soaking the sock in the silver solution risks a result that is not evenly distributed. It is believed that the silver can be applied to the yarn before knitting into the sock if the other finishing treatments are not too harsh.
- FIG. 3 shows an image of a fiber removed from the Improved Sock that was treated with the AgNP shapes.
- This figure shows a dark field microscopic image of a fiber that has been placed in a refractive index matching oil. Dark field microscopy shows up scattered and reflected light.
- One of the things that show up well in dark fields are regions of different refractive index, as well as the silver plates, which show up as bright spots.
- the outer sheath of the wool fiber matches the refractive index of the oil, so it is transparent, while the inner portion of the fiber has a different refractive index so it shows up as a bright line.
- the AgNP shapes show up as bright spots along the edge of the fiber. They appear to trace the junctions of the scales on the outside of the fiber.
- Chronic venous, lymphatic and diabetic wounds include a high bacterial load, glycoprotein biofilm, and chronic inflammatory mediators.
- the biofilm produced by the bacteria prevents the effectiveness of antibiotics and the host immune system against the bacteria.
- the AgNP shapes in the Improved Sock will inhibit the bacteria as well as the formation of the biofilm (Percival, S. L., Bowler P. G., Dolman J., 2007, Antimicrobial activity of silver-containing dressings on wound microorganisms using an in vitro biofilm model. Int. Wound J1. 4:186-191).
- the chronic inflammatory mediators of venous, lymphatic and diabetic wounds have been shown to play a major role in the prevention of wound healing.
- the chronic inflammatory mediator primarily responsible for the non-healing wounds is matrix metallo-proteinase 9 (MMP-9).
- MMP-9 matrix metallo-proteinase 9
- the specific AgNP shapes chosen for the Improved Sock have been shown to be most effective in reducing MMP-9.
- Embodiments of the Improved Sock improve circulation, decrease edema, decrease infection and improve wound healing by decreasing the biofilm burden and decreasing MMP-9.
- the preliminary clinical trial results of the Improved Sock are encouraging. Patients that had failed current standard of care treatment for lower extremity wounds were referred to a wound clinic for evaluation and treatment. After informed consent was obtained, six patients were started in a preliminary clinical trial using the Improved Sock with wool and alpaca fibers, elastic fibers for compression, and AgNP shapes (See Table 1). The age of these six preliminary clinical trial patients with chronic wounds (five patients) and acute wounds (one patient) ranged from 58 to 87.
- the chronic wound patients' previous treatment had included compression therapy using Kendal T.E.D compression stockings, Johnson and Johnson Dyna Flex compression wraps, and UNNA compression boot.
- One patient had a wound treated with a KCI wound V.A.C.
- Wound dressings included silver alginate such as Johnson and Johnson Silvercell, and Molnlycke Mepilex Ag.
- Treatment with skin graft substitutes included A-Cell, MatriStem, and Organogenesis, Apligraf.
- Prior therapies for the chronic wound patients enrolled in the preliminary clinical trial included several months of a broad spectrum of oral and intravenous antibiotics.
- the one acute preliminary clinical trial patient with acute fungal and MRSA wounds healed in 2 weeks.
